"I chose this stay because of the indoor pool and breakfast, and we were quite pleased with both of those. I really liked that there were multiple pools, though we didn’t use the outdoor ones because of the temperature. The indoor pool also has a hot tub, but the rail to get in needs to be repaired or replaced. There is a nice breakfast place with plenty of variety, but it’s at the back of the property through a tunnel in the main building which may be confusing if you’re not staying in the Tower. Our tower room left much to be desired. It was not nearly as nice as the rooms appear in the photos. Despite having bright white lights in the rooms, it somehow seemed dark and dingy. The tower hallway was the same way. There was nothing wrong with the room per se, but the dark appearance made it unsettling. The only thing “wrong” that I noticed was the spout for our tub stuck did not line up with the wall. Still though, the dark and dingy appearance was enough to make me not want to return. Overall, I’d say the indoor pool was the best part of our experience. "

"the only complaint was the pool was out of service love the view staff and cleanliness"

"Good location. Loved the relaxing creek side balcony to just enjoy nature. Good breakfast. "

"We loved the night life for kids at this place! It made it so easy to keep them entertained without having to leave the property. "

"Loved the view from our little balcony. It was easy to get in and out of the parking lot and there are a lot of places within walking distance to have fun. The staff was helpful with finding a place to eat on our last night that was delicious. The bacon in the breakfast was paper thin but still good. Again the staff were helpful and nice. We had a neighbor who was smoking on their balcony and it was coming into our room. The staff handled it quickly. "

"Yes"

"Very clean"

"The room was clean. Beds were comfortable and close to everything. "

"The Grove Park Inn used to be a five star property. It’s a 3 at best today. We went to the GPI to celebrate my son’s birthday. Just to hit the high notes, the service from the staff was terrible. They obviously have very little training in hospitality. Absolutely no enthusiasm by the person in the Cafe, the Concierge, or the wait staff. Additionally, the Edison restaurant was a big disappointment. Our waiter rushed us through our dinner, even though there were very few guests in the restaurant. We ordered drinks and my son ordered a Sour Pineapple Cherry beer. The waiter brought out a completely different beer. We tracked him down to let him know and he informed us that they did not have beer he ordered. He scooped up the beer glass and can without a word. He did not offer another alternative. Secondly, the television in the restaurant was tuned to a very divisive and controversial political channel. I was shocked. The local restaurants in my hometown know better than this. Additionally, our room was dirty. The bathroom floor was sticky and we found a dead bug, M & Ms and and old cough drop on the floor around the beds. Our hotel room was only serviced once during our four day stay. The Spa was also dirty and extremely dated. There was an old comb, the lining of a women’s swimsuit, and most disgusting, someone blew their nose in the cold plunge tub and we had to find someone to remove it. So, no cold plunge for us. The “Spa” robes were horrible. Will not return. "
